Description
I would like to start this issue mainly to see interest for the support in robotframework community.
Ever since RoboCon 2021 GraalVM Python was on our radar as potential replacement for Jython. Seems the progress since then was very limited. After talking to @steve-s recently on GeeCon 2022 I understand GraalVM Python developers were not aware of such use-case and that might be the reason why there was minimal progress.
I've tried basically the same as robotframework-after-jython with latest GraalVM 22.3.0
$ python --version
GraalVM Python 3.8.5 (GraalVM CE Native 22.3.0)
$ python -m robot --help

ImportError: cannot import name 'setitimer' from 'signal' (/home/vehovsky/playground/graalvm-ce-java11-22.3.0/languages/python/lib-python/3/signal.py)
Which I tracked to https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/issues/4100:
The problem occurs when importing
robot.running.timeouts.posixmodule which shouldn't be imported at all when using Jython.
